Quantity?

[Muddy Sneakers]

I get that if I JO a lot, then there's less semen the next time. But every now and then I will have this massive load with lots of squirts and I can't equate it to waiting a long time between masturbating or sex. Is it a function of how aroused you are, how much water you have or what?

[ska8er]

For me it is drinking a lot of water-I have more
semen and multiple orgasms.

[Hermes]

Yes, if you spend a long time highly aroused before finally cumming it can have that effect, at least it does for me.

If I do a long masturbation session ( edging ) I squirt a ton of sperm

[jamie_n5]

I think it's a combination of things. How much liquid intake you do and how aroused you get and that at times your body is just making more semen. I know for me sometimes I shoot real good and have a lot of semen and at other times it just kind of erupts out and flows. There is no regularity in anyone I doubt.

To me it corelates a lot to how aroused you are, and I've noticed that when I'm more aroused I consistently cum more. However I'm not sure if drinking water would have an effect too.

[niklas]

Edging and taking a long time before cumming definitely makes my load a lot bigger, way more squirts. Hadn't heard about drinking more water like somebody else said. Might have to try that!

[kpeter]

For me, if i'm really horny, and jerk it for a long time, I cum a lot. I don't think it depends on the amount of water you drink that much.

...I don't think it depends on the amount of water you drink that much.

The way it works is that if you don't drink enough your body tries to retain the water is does have. Less and stronger urine is the biggest way but all sorts of glands that secrete fluids can also be affected. That's why you can end up with a dry mouth as the glands that make saliva slow down. The glands that make the various parts of semen are bound to be affected so there will be less of it and thicker.

It doesn't work the other way, though. Once you have enough fluid drinking more does not increase production beyond the normal. You don't find, for example, that drinking more than you need leaves your mouth overflowing with saliva or your nose running. All that happens is you pee more often and the pee is paler.

Pee colour is actually a good test or hydration. Pale yellow is about right. Clear means tou're drinking more than you need. That is harmless unless done to an extreme. Dark yellow means you should be drinking more.

For me after I have drank more I produce a lot more semen when I masturbate

[Kevgpdx]

I'm actually not sure what determines how big your loads are. I always seem to just have a ton of precum and shoot a lot no matter what.

[Dames]

the longer u wait in between jerking off, the more and the thicker ur cum will be

[jake1214]

for me, it's like a factor of how long I wait between masturbating, and how aroused I am during that time.

[boytoynamedtroy]

I've observed that the hornier or "more aroused" I am, the more semen I produce. I think it also has to do with the interval between sexual activities, that is the longer you put off, the more you produce. But, usually, the longer you put off, the hornier you get, too, so I guess both affect quantity.

I agree with Jamie_n , it could be a combination of things, but I know for me it has a lot to do with how turned on I am.
